The ship Otago is still at Port Chalmers heads, waiting for a favorable opportunity to sail for this port. By latest advices it was blowing a gale off the heads. The schooner Hannah Barrett was in a rather awkward position yesterday afternoon, and had'she not been in first-class condition>v>aud... thoroughly well found, she mi'.'ht have suffered by the tremendous seas recently experienced. Sec rede it out well, however. ~ The s.s. Waitaki made her usual trip from Dunedin to-day. She brought in addition to her cargo, three passenger?, who must have had a rather rough time of it in consequence of the rough weather. She had to take up her position inside the Breakwater to unload. She takes nothing back. One of the heaviest seas ever remembered In Timaru was running in the roadstead last night and this morning. To-day the Breakwater was one sheet of water from end to end, and the .waves were breaking over the blocks with a tremendous noise. Fortunately no harm was done beyond the breaking of one of the lamps, at the end of the Breakwater, and the upsetting of a couple of block-cases full of cement near the Breakwater approach.
